In a first of its kind initiative to boost India's export potential, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will interact with heads of Indian missions abroad along with stakeholders of the country's trade and commerce sector on Friday (6 August).

PM Modi will hold the interaction with the stakeholders today at 6 pm via video conferencing.

The event will mark a clarion call by the Prime Minister for ‘Local Goes Global - Make in India for the World’, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement.

Exports have a huge employment generation potential, especially for MSMEs and high labour-intensive sectors, with a cascading effect on the manufacturing sector and the overall economy, the PMO added.


The interaction aims to energise all stakeholders towards expanding our export potential and utilising the local capabilities to fulfil the global demand, the PMO said.

Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will also be present during the interaction.

The interaction will also witness participation of secretaries of more than twenty departments, state government officials, members of Export Promotion Councils and Chambers of Commerce.
